The Morris Restaurant

Excellent meal at this newish restaurant adjacent to the Morris Hotel. When we made the reservation, we saw a restaurant week menu, but it wasn’t until the restaurant called us to confirm we were coming and that we knew it was only restaurant week ONLY menu that we said sure that would be fine. Well… This meal was stellar from start to finish. As there amuse Bouche, they had a pallet cleanser, which could be alcoholic or non-alcoholic we chose the alcoholic, which was a Porto Blanco plus Ancho Reyes With banana syrup and cucumber. I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing that was and yes, it was a palate cleanser. We both started with the gazpacho soup -excellent and it had a great twist using the smoked almonds as well as the fennel. For our second, we got two different salads one with duck prosciutto, and fresh figs… I am a fresh fig freak that …means don’t tell me you’re putting in figs if they’re not fresh -and these were amazing. The other salad had asparagus with spinach and hard boiled egg on it just excellent. For our mains, I got the salmon and they cooked it medium rare as I requested, and it was excellent, sitting on a bed of greens around the outside surrounded by a pitted fava bean and some delicately cooked carrots. My partner got the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection as well as being accompanied by this amazing coleslaw that balanced it perfectly. For desserts, he got the chocolate bourbon cake, and I got, the lemon prosset What. It was essentially like a lemon crème brûlée but it was excellent. Our server Erin could not have been more amazing helpful and attentive. For decor I think the outside is definitely much cooler than the inside… The bar area is a little bit more forward in terms of decor, but the back area the restaurant is just so so don’t let that you definitely give this place a try

Attended for restaurant week 2024 and did the four course dinner. I started with the Roasted Tomato Gazpacho (not pictured). It had a unique flavor profile: rich tomato flavor, slightly smoky, with hints of sharp goat cheese. My second course was the shrimp toast which was excellent. It didn’t have an overwhelming shellfish taste. All of the flavors paired together perfectly and each ingredient served a purpose and could be tasted. My main course was the filet mignon with fries paired with a red wine shallot sauce. I will admit that the filet could’ve used maybe a bit more salt and butter but it was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The fries were crisp and seasoned perfectly. The red wine shallot sauce was a nice touch for the steak. For desert I had the creme caramel which was refreshing. It wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet and the bits of fruit added a layer of freshness which was perfect. Overall, the food was excellent and each course was a unique culinary experience. Service was excellent and the ambience of the restaurant was intimate. Although the indoor dining room is small it never felt overcrowded.

Went to The Morris for the first time and will definitely be coming back. The service was absolutely phenomenal - highly recommend celebrating a special occasion here. They will make it special! All of the food was very delicious. Sitting on the patio was also gorgeous to be surrounded by all of the lights and greenery. Highly, highly recommend!

One of my favorite spots I’ve been to in Philly for dinner! Fantastic wine selection, delicious entrees, adorable menu, and great atmosphere. Lively but not over overstimulating or crowded. Leath was our server and was fantastic — attentive, knowledgeable, and great energy. Would highly recommend The Morris to anyone. Sitting outside was such a treat but the indoors was lovely as well! We had wine, the tomato salad, house steak, and scallops. All were fantastic!

At outside in the courtyard, very nice aesthetic. Our server Leif was great, very attentive and nice. Food was great, especially the duck/fig salad, and the rabbit pot pie. A lot of food, options and courses for restaurant week.

Wonderful restaurant!! Clarence was the best waiter and the food was excellent. Highly recommend the rabbit pot pie, pork, and pumpkin praline cheesecake!

Tried out The Morris Restaurant for an early Friday dinner. Overall we had a good time! Drinks were tasty, service was congenial, and our appetizers were delicious. Particularly the rarebit and mushroom soup were standouts. However, our main entree of scallop risotto was not our favorite version of risotto, and the creme brulee we found a bit bland. Nice spot for sure, would visit again if friends wanted to try it out.

I recently celebrated my anniversary at The Morris, and it was an unforgettable experience! The cozy atmosphere and delicious food were perfect for the occasion, but what truly made the night special was the outstanding service. Our waiter, John, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. He was attentive, friendly, and had fantastic recommendations that made our meal even better. John’s exceptional service made our anniversary dinner extra special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better night. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion with great service, The Morris is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back soon!
